If thier big enough to serve thier purpose. You couldn't read Delaware's from 5' away and it is oncamoflage paper. Md had that law and did away with it. Thier's was the same size.
Here's a picture of my De license back tag from 3 feet away. You tell me what good is it, it catches on the bark of the tree, comes unhooked and falls off, more trouble than it's worth. If states are going to enforce the wearing of a back tag for goodness sake, make it so itserves it purpose

I don't like it. Hunting clothes are too expensive to be poking holes in and it causes nothing but problems when using a safety harness.

You better not wear that expensive stuff in the woods a thorn might poke a hole in clothes or something??? Just messing with ya!

I put the back tag thru my binocular buddy straps, works great! I always have my binos on and this way I don't forget them either!

I think that they're an unnecessary nuisance, plus they catch on things and are noisy.

You are the last one I thought would say that. Are you originally from IL?

P.S.-It is the holder you keep it in.
